Hosea 8:12

Israel Rejects The Good

¹¹ Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars sinfully, they have become to him the altars of sin. ¹² I have been wont to write for him the myriad things of my law, - Like something alien, have they been accounted. ¹³ My sacrificial gifts, have they been sacrificing as common flesh, and have eaten, Yahweh, hath not accepted them, - Now, will he call to mind their iniquity, that he may punish their sin, they, to Egypt, will return.
